Nice pic aubrey
It reminds me of this song:
http://www.slack-time.com/music-vide...Grown-And-Sexy
Chamillionaire - Grown and Sexy

when it says:

"Grown and sexy from your head, down to your toes you know you're fine
Got that perfect face a perfect shape, and perfect smile (a perfect smile)
But soon as you turned around, it's something that I realized yeah
You look better from behind, you look better from behind, grown and sexy"


"Had to tell you, that I'm really feeling your style
Saw you walking by, and couldn't let you pass
Gotta tell ya, that I'm really feeling your smile
But even better, is the beauty of your ass
Staring right, into the beauty of your profile
There's something, that I gotta ask
Can you let me, let me
Let me, view your beauty from the back"

Wow.

I youtubed his name and found a quantum mechanics video. I watched it, thinking I'd find a relatively easy explanation of something I could link to in the physics monkey thread... lolno

The explanation is straightforward, but on the level of a 3rd or 4th year physics lecture.


That talk about Nobel Prize is just sensationalism. Who can say what's going to happen in 50 years time? The Nobel Prize in physics is not awarded for untested theories. The testing of a theory takes decades.

[Savy]

Also cracks me up how it has the line "IQ higher than Einstein" which all things like this do. There are quite a lot of people (relatively tiny but like 0.2% of 7billion is still a lot) who have an IQ higher than Einsteins is "predicted" to be.

[wufwugy]

average audience age of 60 minutes has got to be 102

[rong]

Couldn't find the lol pics thread

[Chelle]

So, it's not slightly impressive that a kid knows the shit he knows - or is interested in?

Because honestly, the average 14 year old - hell, even the average 30 year old is kinda herp derp. Obviously, not all people on FTR are average when it comes to intelligence - because well with poker you have the whole math bit to it - but think of the herp derp average mother fucker you know, that just kinda floats around doing jack shit with their life besides working and reproducing and dying [sometimes just the latter].

Okay - well, either way, I was impressed. I don't really care too much about the IQ shit, I'm just impressed with the fact that a kid has such drive - when the majority of adults have not even a fourth of his drive to learn.


In other news - I made chocolate chip mini-M&M's cookies. Pinterest, man, pinterest.

I'm also thinking about getting my nose pierced, but I've been thinking about that for quite some time. By thinking about it - I mean I'm trying to figure out if I want to deal with the healing process. I got two piercings last year that are almost completely healed, that from what I've been told is one of the most painful piercings, and that was told to me by the piercing dude. So, yeah. Nose shouldn't be too bad.


p.s. I bought two pairs of jeans and a super awesome coat all for 11 bucks - the jeans were size 1 and size 1/2, woowoo.

dooo it. The healing process for your nose really isn't that bad - nothing rubbing alcohol and a q-tip won't fix.

If you had the piercings I think you're talking about, those are definitely more painful than your nostril. Nostril's a piece of cake. I say just do it and don't think twice.

So as somebody who doesn't know anything about anybody involved in the VMAs, let me say: the "hey hey hey" song by that Alan Thicke guy is pretty cool and Miley didn't come off as anything other than, well, normal. Sure she wore tight clothes and stuck her tongue out a lot, but it's not her fault that people are too caught up in other peoples lives and don't know that twerking was a thing decades ago, back when nobody needed to make dumb names for normal things. Her performance seemed mild compared to what audiences who like this crap seem to want. Everything is SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX from the age a celebrity hits 15, but apparently everybody wants to pretend its not then act self-righteous when the inevitable happens

I don't think anyone intelligent really cared about the sexuality of her performance. There were two things: First she accessorized her performance with black people. If you didn't feel awkward as you watched a out of touch rich white girl appropriate black culture for her performance and then have the gall to try to legitimize her use of black culture by hiring black back-up dancers, there is something wrong with your PC radar. Second, it's not that she went for sex appeal, it's that, again, she is so far out of touch, causing her to miss the mark by so much. Her performance was so insensitive and out of touch that it was embarrassing for most everyone who saw it.

And yeah, his name is Robin Thicke, and Blurred Lines is a pretty great pop song.

And to shift from one hot potato to another - Obama's GOAT speech y/y? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcR6BR7ubXg

The answer is yes. For all of the talk about him being a great speaker, I've always thought that he's alright, but this speech is where you see a greater speaker speaking on something he firmly believes he understands.

For as little as I like the idea of getting into Syria, and as much as I kinda wanna see what happens, I want to lay odds* that if congress doesn't support 'limited military strikes', Obama will not move forward.

*want to, but won't.

[MadMojoMonkey]

Biden seems to choke down a smile when Obama says, "... and now's the time to show the world that America keeps our commitments"
9:15

Very moving speech, though.

[a500lbgorilla]

Biden's just a face. He knows personal space, personal anecdotes and eye contact; he doesn't know what to do in this spot.

I don't think it's a moving speech, so much as a clear speech. Obama ain't lying and he ain't bullshitting.

[wufwugy]

Should I actually make the effort to find out what this is all about or is it typical people being mongs?

no you shouldnt and yes it is. i was honestly blown away when i saw that people were using cultural appropriation to call it racist. you couldn't be grasping at more straws if you tried. ironically, we in the US looooooooooove cultural appropriation until, you know, somebody somewhere gets people riled up about it, despite cultural appropriation being a good thing and being upset about it causing more problems than it fixes

a ton of what people call racist isn't, it's instead lack of familiarity with cultures. we need more appropriation, not less

[wufwugy]

There are many reasons why actions against Assad are right, but there are a couple potential reasons why it might not be. Those are the theory (which I tend to hold) that progress is rarely a product of rebellion, and that the new paradigm of globalization overrides the old Cold War Truman Doctrine stuff that was once necessary. I'm not sure either of those apply, however, and I tend to support Obama at the head of strikes against Assad. He's a stellar Commander in Chief and foreign affairs politician; it's a shame the Bush administration poisoned the well so much that most people today think all things military are nefarious. I also blame Ron Paul for popularizing that view, as he did so quite successfully.


For those interested about my rationale for "progress is rarely a product of rebellion", history demonstrates repeatedly that internal rebellions only make things worse for progress, and the most efficient method for progress is through its stable establishment, which gradually gives up power without feeling like they're doing so. Probably the best examples of this is how the West went from monarchies to non-monarchies in the last couple centuries. Britain did it right, it was peaceful. On the other hand, France chopped of the heads of its aristocracy and got Napoleon for its efforts. In Russia, the Narodnaya Volya were displeased with the slow progress made by Alexander II and killed him, ushering in the Bolsheviks and an era of what would become among the worst in world history. Without that rebellion, Russia would probably have followed the same path as Britain, and we'd be living in a far more peaceful and progressed world today. Other examples are all across the Arab Spring that we all know about. A counter example that people may use is the American Revolution, but that wasn't a rebellion in this sense. The colonies were themselves the established powers and Britain was viewed as a foreign oppressing force.

I love listening to Jym Rogers speak, example:

[a500lbgorilla]

I can't know what the right decision is with Assad. I doubt many of those exposed to the best information can do better than "I don't really know". What I hope is that the process of our decision is shown to the world as so robust that anyone exposed demands their nation follow much-the-same.

I like that Obama wants the debate. I like that he's giving full-on closed-door debrief sessions which are met with congressional skepticism. I like the serious and balanced rhetoric coming from our elect. I like that people are genuinely weighing the options and that so many are quick to bury the more 'rash' rationale.

And I genuinely hope that if the body of our elected representatives condemns 'kinetic' action, that our elected Commander and Chief will as well.

Egypt has taught us that democracy is hard. Libya teaches us that it is necessary. Now the old democracies need to show why it is right.

I hope.

[rong]

The whole Syria thing has been on my mind for days. I agree with military action, for pretyy much the reasons Obama stated in that speech above and I'm disappointed we weren't game, but I blame our dipshit prime minister for that.

But my issue with the Syria thing is what anyone can actually do to help. Neither side will form fair and moral governments and I have no idea which is the worse of the two evils, so helping either side, which may hasten the war and therefore reduce civilian casualties, seems ridiculous when both are pretty horrific options. I like the idea of negotiating a ceasefire for say two weeks, and in that time allow anyone who doesn't want to be part of the war to walk away and shack up in a neighbouring country for as long as it takes for the two sides to slaughter each other, then just let the rest of them get on with it and allow people to move back when it's done. Of course the people there aren't worth the resources it would take to do such a thing, but it seems like a good way of solving the issue of civilians being caught up in it. Maybe, as Syria has oil, the cost of the resources it takes to move, feed and house that many people could be repaid afterwards, but for obvious reasons that would never work. The whole thing just makes me sad, I mean surely regular civilians shouldn't have to deal with shit like this:

"ERRMAHGAWD! This terrible thing is happening, and because it is happening you are not allowed to be upset about anything else!!"

The "syria no one cares: affleck as batman people lose their shit" memes are funny and all, but if you're serious in taking this stance, you're an idiot.

Yeah, people were so mad at the Beatles, Elvis, etc.

From what I understand, Elvis was raised in a southern baptist church. Southern baptist churches were a spawning ground for rock and roll. It's not like he just flipped a switch. Even so, many of his songs were written by blacks, and they received pennies. That is fucked up, and like the new forum girl said, people take issue with that to this day.

The Beatles grew up in a time when rock and roll was an international phenomenon. They were a rock and roll band from day one. And if you're referring to their Eastern influences: Well, they went over there, and actually studied the culture and had a deep respect for it. They learned new instruments and factored them into their sound. Again, this wasn't self reinvention for the sake of profits, it was self reinvention as a result of having had new experiences and being changed by them.

So yeah, in a sense, Wuf is spot on; cultural appropriation is not a bad thing, and is probably a very good thing. However it's all about respect. The Beatles pretty much never catch flack for it, because they actually respected the cultures, Elvis on the other hand seems to have been culturally insensitive, and so his legacy is tainted.

So, yeah, nuance. People ITT suck at it.

The Syria issue is one of the first problems I've encountered where I can't figure out a decent solution. That's not to say I've ever been right with my previous conclusions on other issues, my solutions may well be laughable, but after consideration I always tend to lean one way or another and be pretty happy with my thoughts. But I have no fucking idea whatsoever on how you can resolve this.

[a500lbgorilla]

Yeah, it's not hard for me to admit that I don't know enough about enough to say anything on anything, but this is one of those spots where I just don't trust anyone who claims they know what tomorrow looks like. -Which is why I'm happy to allow professional minds, exposed to the best info, to make the decisions as they may, even if those decisions seem political.

It's one of those fun moments where I don't like anything that's going on, but I like how it all seems to be going on.

This worst result would be for me to walk away knowing that all of the Senators and Congresspeople of America couldn't think beyond their war-chest contributions.

edit btw rong, I'd vote for you for congress person. You think how I like people to think.

If we're going for the fewest overall future deaths possible, taking out Assad would be best. While killing will still happen if the Assad regime is eliminated, it wouldn't be as much as if he maintains power.

Furthermore, the health of the region would be improved without Assad. This is because it's still a West vs East thing, which has different manifestations like Sunni vs Shia, Israel and Saudi Arabia vs Iran and Russia, etc. Syria is a major player in funneling arms and influence from Iran and Russia into the region, and the Arab conflict is made worse by this Persian and Russian influence. The West (US and Israel, mainly) are NOT going to lose this fight, it just isn't going to happen, so that suggests that the East should concede and let peace ensue. But they don't want to because that would topple their establishments. At home in Russia, Putin would lose tremendous face, and possibly his regime, if he lost Syria, for reasons including losing lucrative arms deals and shame against the West

Toppling Assad would weaken Iran, and thus strengthen the ability for the West's eventual win in the region, among other things. The Palestinian issue may be resolved more easily without Iran involved. Hell, it would probably strengthen Iranians' power over their own government. If we're comparing rulers and progress, Saudi Arabia is doing a lot better than Syria. Syria doesn't play the West's game and it has plummeted into chaos all by itself; Saudi Arabia plays the West's game as well as anybody and is stable and gradually improving its social situation.

As for how the US could topple Assad with only airstrikes, I'm pretty sure it can be done. Assad only remains in power now because of his military hardware that keeps him entrenched against the rebels. Airstrikes can take those out then rebels can keep moving forward

[boost]

Yeah, fair enough. It's just my opinion based on what I know about the Beatles and what I know about Elvis. They (the Beatles) got caught up in the whole Eastern spirituality craze, and actually spent a lot of time in India. They didn't just do a really bad rendition of a dance (like Miley) and hire Indian back up dancers. They immersed themselves in the culture and music, learned new instruments, and incorporated these new (to them) sounds into their own style. They didn't just flip a switch and become an Indian band.

So yeah, it is my opinion, and it's simply based on stuff floating around in my brain, but I think it's far more accurate than lumping the Beatles in with Elvis and Miley Cyrus.

Miley's rendition may be vapid, but I can't help but think that her audience wants the vapid. Beatles were pre-Kardashian, after all.

Frankly, when I see a performance like Miley's, I think "she's playing them like the tools they want to be." In this age, there's no better way to get people talking about you than to do something people can take as offensive, inconsiderate, or in poor taste.

[boost]

And you have a tendency to poke and prod where you see errors, but are far more reluctant to actually jump into discussions. It's a much easier position to take. I find it to be similar to guerilla warfare (a500lbguerilla?), in that it's purely offensive and you don't have a base to attack. It's nice because it can help to better shape the debate and keep people clear of terrible logical fallacies and weakly supported stances, yet it can be infuriating because my ego wants to crush you for undermining my points.

She's another child star churned out by Disney, she's worth tens of millions, and she's lost her god damn mind.
